I do feel like that pimply 14 year old who is new to town with no mates. Seen lots of faces of people I didn;t like back then and doubt I will now!

How do you get started? You must look like such a looser when you start as you have no friends!

My palms are sweaty!

How many mates do you have FAQ?

108 - quite a few MNers on there that I've never met, and probably never will

108!!! That is just showing off, I get the impression that is what everyone does. I think I need looking after.

you can do a contact importer thingy so it adds people that are on your msn etc rather than having to search for people you know.

most of them I just ignore (or read their status updates) - but the ones I know in RL I do send messages to, keep up with what they're up to (I organise my babysitting via their too as 3 of my main babysitters or on my friends list )

But does it not completely compromise your anonymity, I am just thinking a few of my family are on facebook but if I add mumsnetters they might think what is this musnet lark and then have a peek over here and catch me slagging them off!

not really - I have my brother on there - but I've limited what he can see of my profile (so he can't see my photos or my status updates).

well i had that thought but in fact i dont think any mns actually use my facebook

andf i said i didnt want people like my bf to have my mn id and it doesnt seem to have happened and in fact my dds are on my facebook and they clearly have no idea or interest in doing any kind of investigation to find anything out

you just close all the privacy streams

FB did this to me this afternoon when I saw photos of 3 different friends weddings and tons of photos of everyone looking happy and glamourous.

I only use FB to play boggle type games tho and to be nosey

Superbunny I have been being nosey although I have discovered that most of the people who I suspect have been involved in scandal are not on facebook or they have name changed.

Nappyaddict I don;t do msn either, I am so early 1990s.

Not much hope for dd she kept asking last night if she could go on haribo, I worked out this morning she meant bebo.
